Before I go and post detailed data, has the problem
of NeXT tiffs come up, and if so are there work arounds
available somewhere for massaging their tiff (sic)
files into something more standard?
I have tiffinfo output from several different classes
of NeXT tiff problems available if anyone is interested.
I'd really like to repair some of these. In particular
I have files which were lost by NASA Ames in the original
gif in a disk crash a couple years ago. My tiff conversions
of them are the only ones of some files that exist still
and they are unusable due to NeXT's tiff foolishness.
And besides those (a compression type that is not available),
I've got lots of really neat icon files I want to use that
are "directory not in ascending order". And a couple other
strange mangles as well that need repaired. Quite a few
thousand files actually...
